Drogba and Wright-Phillips roll back the years for Phoenix Rising FC

Twelve years after becoming teammates at Stamford Bridge, former Chelsea stars Didier Drogba and Shaun Wright-Phillips proved they can still be a dynamic duo.

Playing for Phoenix Rising FC in the United Soccer League, the second tier of the American game, both men scored in a 2-1 win vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 on Saturday.

On his debut for the club, Drogba got the scoring underway with a trademark powerful header:
